When Heaven Meets Hell
 Dr. Amelia West, a noted psychologist, is asked by her childhood priest, Father Johansson, to visit a cloistered order of nuns and speak with one of the nuns. The father also asks a former cop turned private detective, Olivia Santos, to aid Amelia in solving the mystery of Sister Marie Clarise-Benoite. Hell meets heaven when the two women form a tentative bond in their search for the truth.
Fatal Hesitation
 Olivia and Amelia are now partners in a business called When Heaven Meets Hell.
True to form, the relationship is full of electricity as each woman keeps her
true emotions in check when dealing with the other. Olivia is on the hunt for a
predator who is harassing her newest client, Sharon Agnew. Amelia has taken a
six month leave from the convent and must make a decision soon - either go back
to the safety of the convent or continue on as Olivia's business partner. A
vacation with her parents brings a new light to her situation.
Echoes of the Past
 Olivia and Amelia are living together in a platonic relationship when an old
love asks for Olivia's help. Will the old feelings Olivia had for her first love
reemerge or will she stay with Amelia? This fast moving story has twists and
turns and some you won't see coming.
Paradox of Love
 Parker Davis’s car limped its way into Portsmouth. It was just another city in along line of places she’d traveled never to settle down. The major repairs and debt caused by her vehicle, forced her to stay in the city and find employment with the local police department. Olivia Santos lived for her work as a police officer, following a family tradition that she was proud of. The only thing that she would place above her police work was the love she had for her only living relative-her brother-an undercover cop. When Parker and Olivia meet at a social function, there is an immediate attraction, which starts them on a road of passionate, unquenchable love. Their relationship binds them together in ways neither of them understand until a tragedy threatens the very fabric of their life together and their love. What happens will reflect on their future like an indelible stain forever.
The End Game
 What would you do if you discovered your life wasn’t your own? Private detective Olivia Santos and noted physiologist Dr. Amelia West face new challenges as they attempt to reconcile their previous lifestyles and forge a lasting personal relationship within the backdrop of busy business schedules that threaten to overwhelm them. They also find they are faced with the knowledge that their lives are not their own. Someone has been watching every facet of their everyday lives. When a package arrives at the offices of When Heaven Meets Hell, the contents set into motion a series of event that threatens not only the very fabric of their environment but their lives as well. Will Olivia’s past finally catch up with her and destroy everything she has built in the last ten years? Or, will those that are stalking her finally put an end to a game that can only have one ending–death.
Wolf at the Door
Parker Davis is determined to get back in the good graces of the super secret covert group known as Department of Covert Operations (DOCO). She will do whatever is necessary-even if it means letting someone else be the team leader.
When the mission she is assigned to as a sniper goes wrong, Parker finds herself on the run with the mysterious team leader Remington Wolf. Parker's life is in the Wolf's hands-just as the Wolf's is in Parker's-as the two women find themselves fighting for their lives.
Sandcastles
How can a person take back a life that is not theirs and make it work. Until Remington Wolf met Parker Davis, she knew no other life than that of a highly placed operative for a clandestine government agency—Department of Covert Operations. Once Parker came on the scene, the Wolf began spiraling into a life that knew no boundaries. That brought her to a point where it became necessary to choose which life she wanted.
Just as a sandcastle can withstand only the initial onslaught of relentless waves, the Wolf finds she is constantly reinventing her life in a desperate attempt to reclaim what is hers. Her only problem, Parker, who is trying to reinvent herself, is in the way.
